Charcoal with a fine shimmer.
About this stone
Black Shimmer is an engineered quartz with charcoal with a fine shimmer: a deep, dramatic surface that makes a confident statement. A dark quartz worktop gives a kitchen real presence and works brilliantly as a contrast against pale cabinetry.
White, ivory and soft sage cabinets make it stand out, with brass, copper or polished chrome hardware for contrast. A polished dark island looks especially rich under pendant lights, and the veining comes alive as the light moves.
Its fine mirror or crystal fleck catches the light without busy veining. It is one of the most hard-wearing, low-fuss surfaces we fit, never needs sealing and is very forgiving of everyday marks.
If you like Black Shimmer, compare it with Pure Black (a plain, deep black) or Black Mirror (black with mirror-chip sparkle).
